I live in LaGrange, Georgia and I have a cemetery with about 10 Fomby graves, along with some slave graves (at least that is what I have assumed, from what my mother told me.)

I took pictures of the graves, and here they are if anyone knows more about them.

A grave of a baby only 1 year old or so, Little Mary.
